Three Middle Tennessee men were sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Nashville after pleading guilty to being co-conspirators to possess and distribute 5 kilos of cocaine and 100 kilos of marijuana.

Alfred Coffey, 53, of Pulaski, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Aleta Trauger to 10 years in prison followed by five years of supervised release.

Randy Randolph, 50, of Pulaski, was sentenced to three years in prison with five years of supervised release.

Spencer Randoph, 57, of Nashville, the brother of Randy Randolph, was sentenced to five years of supervised release.

The three men are among 20 people who were indicted in July 2012, accused of being involved in a drug conspiracy that stretched between Nashville and Pulaski. The conspiracy, which began in 2006, was detected when phone conversations were intercepted by Drug Enforcement Agency agents.

Trauger ruled Wednesday that Randy Randolph, who had no prior criminal history, could self-report to custody Dec. 4 to first get his affairs together.

Spencer Randolph, employed for 25 years for the Tennessee Department of Transportation before his indictment, was originally facing three years in prison and five years of supervised release, but Trauger sentenced him only to five years of supervised release because of his deteriorating health.

Of the 20 people indicted in the conspiracy, five are awaiting sentencing, while the other 15 have already been sentenced.
